Platform protection

AdvantEdge users get twice the flexibility because it comes ready to go to work on Windows NT/2000/XP, Mac OS X, and Red Hat Linux for one low price.

Stylish user interface with automated controls

The user interface has been designed to automate the control settings by easily sampling different parts of the image or matte with a simple eyedropper cursor. Once a sample has been taken the software automatically sets multiple controls to find the best adjustment.

Fully-linear mask

Eliminates hard edges -- fine detail, blurred images, transparencies and shadows visible in the foreground image will all reproduce in the final composite.

Video Correction

AdvantEdge is the world’s first matte generation tool with video correction filtering (VCF) for the 4:1:1, 4:2:0, and even 4:2:2 digital video formats. VCF restores the lost color information in compressed video formats and greatly reduces the blocky artifacts found in most blue/greenscreen composites using DV footage.

Advanced Spill Suppression and Clean Up controls

Automatically removes discoloration of foreground subjects caused by light reflecting from the blue or green stage. Removing excessive backing color spill from the foreground subject has been automated by sampling the contaminated area with the eyedropper cursor and watching AdvantEdge wash away the spill. Also Matte Clean Up now has individual controls for softening and shrinking the matte.

Roto Screen Correction

A revolutionary method for making poorly shot footage usable by automatically creating an articulate roto-mask to isolate the foreground without the tedious and labor intensive work of traditional rotoscoping.

Smart Matte Sizing

A totally new approach to computing the matte density without allowing the matte to become over dense. Over dense mattes are the most common mistake made in creating traveling mattes. With Smart Matte Sizing it is virtually impossible to over dense the matte.

Color Conformance

Matches the look of the foreground to the background for absolute realism.

Garbage matte

Allows overlaying an externally-generated mask to "extend" the blue or green screen so that wide-angle and long shots can be composited even though they overshoot the screen.
